Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am happy with the results, and saved a bunch off the full Dura Ace kit, plus always liked Campis.

I'm ok with the crank mix up but the wheels, yeah, not cool.

If he got the deal of a life time then it's OK I guess.

LOL, let's see, the components, crankset and pedals are Shimano, so staying in line there, and yeah I quit using clipless pedals on my mountain bike after too many scares, and because I like to walk straight and not like a duck, I use my Shimano 088 mountain bike shoes on the road, and for the wheels, my old Zipp 101's won't take the Ultegra 11 speed cassette which the campis did, until I am ready to spend the coin on 404's

Relatively new to this sport, and very new to this forum!(about 5 minutes)
This is my first ever bike, just started 2 years ago. Picture was taken before the season started, about 6 months ago. Minor changes have been made
Thinking of getting another bike next season.

that's a nice paint scheme, good looking bike, but damn... that saddle bag is revolting. You should see if you can get a smaller one, or better yet carry your things in your pockets.

Haha, I know right.

This bike is going to be rode strictly in regular clothes though.

Well, I've got a Genesis Roadtech, with a Custom triple from an old Mongoose Hilltopper, now feed me your tears, your strife sustains me.

2012 Kestrel Talon Road, Ultegra group, Integrated bars, Adamo Road Saddle, Next on the upgrade list; Latex tubes, smaller chainrings, and seriously considering Chinese Carbon Clinchers. There is no way I can afford brand name ones.

Recent pic of my Synapse. Love this bike so much. I put on new Sram bar tape on two months ago since my original one started tearing apart and I added a Road Morph pump after a got a flat 20 miles away from home. Also replaced the stock Lugano tires with Continental Super Sports. Tires have great grip except when it's wet going down a hill :/

My new baby as if 12/15/2014, 2013 Fuji Sportif 1.3 - Picked her up brand new for $650 and she carries better components than what was offered at Bikeone in my budget for under $700 as my entry level, (near first - had a 2000 Fuji Roubaix that I rode 3 times a while back) road bike. It was either this for $650 out the door with the new Sora sti shifters, front derailleur, and Tiagra back derailleur, a Trek 1.2 with full Sora components for near $800, or a Giant Defy 5 with claris components for $670 out the door. I love her ride. It's so smooth. Can't wait to become a bit more seasoned to actually tell differences in components. Some things that are on the my list to replace include brake pads (they're a bit loud), bottle holders (they were free ^.^), wheelset (not in the near future), maybe the saddle as I'm not sure if I have a problem with it just yet, and as I mentioned, upgrade to full 105 or maybe even Ultegra if money comes my way! Again, just a budget entry level bike that I'm very proud of as I love it a lot! Any critiques are welcome, some tips maybe.. Keep it fair. Don't discourage me from never coming back, haha.

Giant Defy 0 2014

Got my Giant Defy 0 a couple of months back, haven't had the chance to fully commit to clocking the miles on this one but I'm looking forward to riding more next year!
